Functional Outcomes in Proximal Tibia Shaft Fractures Treated With IMIL Nailing V/S Plating.
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: The fractures of the proximal third of tibia occur due to high energy trauma and these fractures have a high incidence of mal union compared to pure diaphyseal fractures. With the advent of modern surgical techniques and newer implants our objective is to treat these difficult fractures by maintaining alignment and to avoid failure of fixation. Aims & Objectives: to compare post-operative outcomes of proximal extra-articular shaft fractures treated with nailing v/s plating. Method: A total of 40 patients were randomly divided into two groups of20 patients each and one group was treated with plating while the other was treated with nailing. Results: In our study we had 90% good to excellent results in both the nailing as well as the plating group. Conclusion: We conclude that the rates of mal union are lesser in the plating group as compared to nailing. Both techniques yield promising results but a larger study group is required with long term follow-up of patients to reach a final conclusion.
